How to make organic planting pots using old newspapers

Step 2 Basic cutting

Use your bottle as a guide to see where you should cut the newspaper. I like to cut several pages each time.

You do not even need to cut the paper. Just use the whole sheet and fold in the excess at the bottom. That way there is no scraps. Also the length or height of the newspaper should depend on the plant, some require different depths.

I make these too - and its so much easier with a long metal ruler. You can just place it down on the paper and rip against it...
